सुन री मुन्नी (भाग १)

'Sun Ri Munni (Part I)' is one half of a paired number in the 1942 Bombay social drama Kirti, directed by Dada Gunjal. Like the rest of the film's score it was composed by Harishchandra Bali to lyrics by the single credited lyricist Pandit Phani. The two-part split — common in the 78-rpm era, where a song too long for one disc side was issued across two — indicates a substantial set-piece in the film.

Harishchandra Bali, the composer of Kirti's entire soundtrack, worked in the melody-forward idiom of the early-1940s Bombay studios, leaning on harmonium and tabla with light orchestral colour. As a two-part composition this number would have unfolded across both sides of a single shellac record.
